FORT HOOD, Texas — President Barack Obama, speaking today at a memorial service for the Fort Hood shootings, called the massacre painful and incomprehensible, the more so because of where it occurred.
"This is a time of war. And yet these Americans did not die on a foreign field of battle," Obama told more than 15,000 soldiers and others gathered this afternoon at the nation's largest military installation, four days after the worst act of violence on an American base. "Here, at Fort Hood, we pay tribute to 13 men and women who were not able to escape the horror of war, even in the comfort of home."
